Firstly... Can I get a client side only version - Eula can't stop personal modification on ANY level.

Secondly.. Can I as a user have the ability to host images for my particular server (we used this mod to show which faction you were on, now everyone is confused - its quite funny really)

Thirdly... Your not making money, mojang CAN'T sue you for damages, infact you can show loss (hosting fees) the worst that would happen to you is a nice request from mojang's lawyer to please stop, and if you don't a lawful requirement to please stop. So stop being a scaredy cat.

Fourthly... You have no control over what capes your users upload and use, so therefor you can't be held liable for what they uploading. See Google vs. Viacom *on wikipedia

Fifthly... Please reopen this mod until and if an official request is made

I loved this mod and seeing it grow. I hope Mojang realizes how their EULA will eventually kill off Minecraft since most people would only buy ranks/items from networks/servers if it had a non-cosmetic advantage.

Now, the reason Mojang is going to try and enforce this EULA, is because that they want people to go to Realms since they possibly had a large decrease in sales with the accounts.

I notice that they would probably hunt you down since you're one of the most popular mod creators, but there are thousands of other servers out there that don't enforce the EULA. Sure Mojang could blacklist their IP so the Logins won't work on that specific server, but the opposing party could just as easily change their IP without a problem. The one thing you could be 100% sure about is that they'll never give a lawsuit to these small servers. Mojang would actually lose money if they did that, and I'm pretty sure their financial advisers aren't stupid.

One way such networks/servers could get past the EULA is by splitting their playerbase into different servers for minigames like Mineplex did.

Eventually, since they split their playerbase, they'll lose all income. That way, Mojang effectively takes out the host and server.

Mojang would think that people would go to realms, but as long as the LAN worlds still exist, and knowing most of the players in Minecraft are children, no one would use realms. If Mojang removes it, players could just mod the game to re-enable them. Nothing in the EULA is against that. In fact, adding LAN to Minecraft would be something a beginner in Java could do.

they are explicitly saying your mod is ok as long as you don't charge!!! Please reopen it, otherwise give it to someone else to rehost if you don't feel like taking care of it? I'm sure there will be people who would love to see this mod continue running and would be willing to host it.

Sorry for any confusion with support tweets. Everyone is on the same page now. According to the recent blog posts, Mojang would like to keep capes as Mojang-given only. I know it's a bit unusual for the company to moderate which kind of content is allowed in mods, but I've confirmed with some higher-ups that this is their wish.

if this mod can't give out capes, then optifine can't either. you still get an optifine cape for donating.
